Re: Identity Festival 2012

So im going to this tomorrow. I want to see the hype.

"How long will this last, this delicious feeling of being alive, of having penetrated the veil which hides beauty and the wonders of celestial vistas? It doesn't matter, as there can be nothing but gratitude for even a glimpse of what exists for those who can become open to it."

Re: Identity Festival 2012

His cheese doesnt stink as bad as some.... Totally undeserving of any hype.

Re: Identity Festival 2012

If you love the Swedes, Kaskade and Armin you will love Prydz. I was hoping that he was somehow above their level, but that was foolish because he does the exact same thing with a slightly less obnoxious tech house beat.

BTW the scene at Identity is a total shitshow. I dunno about the west coast but the Bath Salt issue has gotten out of control out here. You have 17 year olds snorting grams of white powder that is everything but MDMA and then going into a hyper delusional manic state that promotes them to mosh all over people trying to just chill and dance and have a good time. 2 people died at the event in Boston.

Seriously? What did you expect, it's an event for the EDC candy kid crowd.

Re: Identity Festival 2012

Its gotten 10x worse in a year buddy. People are selling "moonrocks" at verboten events in nyc. Dancesafe is making a billion dollars on tests kits cause people are scared for their safety, not worried about losing 60 bucks to fake shit.

gotta disagree with the top. maybe his set was too short wherever you saw him, but in la he was a ride through a lot of deep progressive house into dark techier stuff and back again. I am really looking forward to seeing him a second time. I was completely lost in the music (and completely sober) and that doesn't happen with armin or the swedes.

Re: Identity Festival 2012

In LA there were lots of moments when he would be mixing 3 songs together, I really enjoyed that and it's not something the other house guys do that often. He also played pretty progressively, which I think is dependent on the length of his set - he definitely played some songs out for >10 minutes.

yeah dude after reading an article that like 20+ people went to the hospital, its definitively getting out of hand....

Re: Identity Festival 2012

Seitron i agree that he is way better than most of your other big name house headliners these days.

Re: Identity Festival 2012

HA! I am failing all over the place now. I thought it was for this weekend. I just assumed being in is playing in San Diego Saturday night. I would much rather have seen him at the Palladium than Voyeur. I hate that place but I will go to see him.

Re: Identity Festival 2012

it was alright. like others said, the crowd is expectedly horrific. i caught him in Austin the night before identity in dallas and he was 1000x better. they gave him over 2 hours at the venue vs. the 75 he had at identity.
